T10 - Surround Sound for Documentary Films

Presenter:
Florian Camerer, ORF, Austrian TV - Vienna, Austria

Abstract:
The emotional power of sound doesn't stop at the cinema. Documentary
films have always relied on the immediacy of sound and picture to
create an involvement of the audience as well as a kind of "realism"
that is especially sought after in this area of film-making. 5.1
Surround sound-location recording and postproduction-can now
enhance the impact of sound considerably. From 5-channel microphone
arrays to the workflow and concepts of sound design for documentaries,
a multitude of examples will underline the authors´ ideas. Both are
experienced in all aspects of the film-making process. Other key issues
include: static and dynamic use of the additional channels (center,
surrounds), basic and advanced sound design concepts (protagonist /
antagonist etc.), and introduction of new terms (synchresis, auditory
object), etc.

T8 - Distance and Depth Perception

Presenters:
Durand Begault, NASA Ames Research Center - Moffett Field, CA, USA
William Martens, McGill University - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Geoff Martin, Bang & Olufsen - Struer, Denmark

Abstract:
Much discussion in the audio engineering literature has focused on the
spatial location of sounds in terms of azimuth, and less often,
elevation. Far less investigation has focused on auditory distance
perception and how engineers consciously or unconsciously manipulate
the relative distance of sound sources.
How is it possible for an engineer to systematically manipulate the
distance of the perceived image of a sound source? How is the sound
"stage" and relative distances established on both live and studio
recordings? What are the fundamental cues for distance and depth
perception? This tutorial seeks to elucidate these issues. Sound
examples will be provided.
